Ethylene oxide is a spectral sterilizing agent that kills various microorganisms at room temperature, including spores, tuberculosis, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and the like. Currently, medical devices are widely sterilized by using ethylene oxide.

The ethylene oxide sterilization device is the key equipment for the single-use sterile medical device manufacturing enterprise. The installation operation and use management have special requirements, which is the key point of safety and prevention supervision. Ethylene oxide is a flammable and explosive toxic gas with a molecular formula of C2H4O. It has an aromatic etheric taste. The relative density is 0.884 at 4 ° C, the boiling point is 10.8 ° C, and its density is 1.52 g/cm 3 . Underneath, it is easy to volatilize into a gas, which can cause an explosion when the concentration is too high.

The advantages are: 

can kill all microorganisms, including bacterial cells. 

Sterilized items can be wrapped, packaged in their entirety, and kept sterile before use. 3

Relatively speaking, EO does not corrode plastics, metals and rubber, and does not cause objects to become yellow and brittle. 

can penetrate irregular shapes and sterilize. 

It can be used for the sterilization of articles that cannot be immersed in disinfectant, dry heat, pressure, steam and other chemical gases.

Disposable surgical accessories are sterilized with ethylene oxide.
